So naturally this weather demands lots of sitting in cozy armchairs, reading, TV and some baking!

I had off from work today because of the storm coming through Northern Jersey and between design work and reading, I made time for some long overdue baking. I made these Toasted Coconut and Almond Chocolate Chip Scones – yes they deserve an all cap status. I found via Joy the Baker – one of my favorite baking blogs.

The house was filled was the sweet aromas of the toasting coconut and I couldn’t resist sneaking some chocolate chips straight from the bag, as I measured out and prepped all the ingredients.

They were paired with a swipe of butter and jam and accompanied with earl grey tea. They weren’t overly sweet and the toasted almond and coconut was the perfect soul mate for the chocolate chips and warm bread. NOM. Have a great weekend everyone!
